Liverpool vs Brentford - Premier League: TV channel, team news, lineups & prediction
By Sean Walsh
Liverpool will look to seal a sixth successive Premier League win when Brentford travel to Anfield this weekend.
The Reds are in fine form and they've managed to give themselves minor hope of reaching the top four, though they'll need to win pretty much all of their remaining games in order to qualify for next season's Champions League.
The Bees head to Merseyside with a renewed spring in their step after totting up two notable victories - a 2-0 triumph at rivals Chelsea and a late 2-1 comeback against Nottingham Forest.
Here's everything you need to know ahead of this one.

Liverpool vs Brentford score prediction
Not for the first time, Klopp's Liverpool look like a buzzsaw down the final stretch of a season.
They've finally found some form again but it appears it's going to be too late to secure a top-four finish, though avoiding the Europa Conference League will now be a target.
Brentford have a superb big-game record this season, but with the Reds in such scintilating form, taking the points back from Anfield might be out of reach for them.
Prediction: Liverpool 2-1 Brentford
